Where it all began

In 1978 Jon Carroll (co-owner) planted trees with the largest worker owned co-op in the United States - Hoedads Reforestation Cooperative. With his family, including his 3 year old son Jen Carroll (co-owner), Jon spent half the year in Northwest forests, working and living. They began with pitching a tent, but quickly found living this way difficult when the weather turned in winter. Needing to get his family out of the mud and into a clean, warm environment, Jon decided to construct a tiny house travel trailer, long before "Tiny" was in style. After some trial and error, the house became a functional and beautiful home for temporary use. Warm, cozy, and out of the mud!

Later the Carroll family changed professions and moved into town, leaving their tiny lifestyle behind. Remembering that time affectionately almost 35 years later; father & son (Jon & Jen Carroll), and Jen's wife Malia (co-owner) have decided to revisit small scale mobile design, applying their skills to certified and inspected RVs. This time the team is bigger, the passion is strong, and the vision is widely shared.
